The title says it all, but to give people a little bit of context...
Bischoff:
Super successful in WCW (in the beginning any way).
Creator of the most successful stable in the history of professional wrestling; the nWo.
Also created Goldberg.
Introduced cruiserweights into main stream wrestling.
Guaranteed contracts.
Monthly PPVs.
Booking of the Crow Sting (before Hogan messed it up).
Portrayed a heel very well; still is the most successful General Manager in the history of WWE.
Russo:
Contributed immensely to the WWE creative during the AE.
Was behind Sable's programming in WWE which drew second only to Austin.
Both have immense failures as well.
Bischoff:
Business fraud (which he got away with).
Didnt know how to book long term.
Let Hogan get away with murder thus resulting in loss in long term booking costing WCW millions in revenue.
No knowledge of international content distrubution resulting in further loss of revenue.
He was 2 trick phony; stables fighting each other was the only thing he knew how to do and anything involving Hogan.
Flopped in TNA.
Russo:
Had the most outlandish ideas in the history of the wrestling business.
Flopped in WCW and made the already bad situation worse in the company.
Made a C list Hollywood actor the World Champion and still defends it to this day.
Flopped in TNA.
So the question is, who has an overall better wrestling mind (if we can factor out all luck which both of them had going for them when they were successful)?
